Yeah, same - I judge the hell out of adults chasing teenagers but the cool thing about fiction is that it allows me to picture a bittersweet rose-tinted version of that scenario. The implied danger of dating someone much older is hot.

Pisses me off when it's assumed that jacking off to a fantasy means I'll end up doing it for real. Yeah, no. Not any more than I'd become violent by watching John Wick.

I always wonder why murder and violence seem to get a pass with people who thinks reading a problematic thing = fully endorses the problematic thing in real life.

NAYRT

So I agree with the idea that this isn't a really rational stance and has more to do with an instinctive reaction to certain kinds of content

That said, I also think most people accept the basic premise that violence is justified in certain situations, and most action movies go out of their way to ensure that the protagonists' use of violence will be seen as justified for audiences. So for instance John Wick does a bunch of things early in the movie to ensure that the audience is on John Wick's side. It's not like John Wick just decides to come back and start killing people one day. And if you did make a movie like that, it would read as much more nihilistic and morally unacceptable to audiences.

Probably because violence and murder are universally seen as bad things and most who write or create fiction about it aren't doing it to get their rocks off. Shit like rape and age gaps are fetishized, people get pleasure from it, it's almost normalized. Fuck, some people even have varying opinions on what even constitutes rape or barely even pause to think "hey, that's fucked up" when a 28 year old dude is dating a barely legal teenager. The "b-but nobody says anything about violence in fiction, what a doubl standard" argument is dumb and will always be dumb.
